My wife and I moved into our condo two years ago and we have hated our swamp cooler from the day we moved in. We have had a company come out and look at it and they say it is working fine, but I seriously doubt it. They said the pump is working properly and they had us buy new pads April '08. I have talked to other people in our complex and they say theirs works well when ours just blows hot air. I swear that all the swamp cooler is doing is just blowing out what ever temperature of air that is outside when it's on. I am not a very good handyman, and I don't have a ladder to get onto my 3 story roof to fix the thing, but I'm just wondering if these swamp cooler people don't know what they are talking about. They say that it is normal for a swampcooler to blow hot air if the temperature is hotter than 85 degrees outside. I live in utah... Dry and Hot. Any suggestions? Anyone know how much a new swamp cooler would cost for a 1300 sq foot condo if I have to go to that route?
